The College Bowl is designed to facilitate in-teraction among students from different uni-versities, stimulate the students' desire to ac-cumulate and retain knowledge, and provide a forum for students to engage in friendly competition. Teams for IFT Student Chapters in eight geographical areas of the Student As-sociation compete in area competitions prior to the IFT Annual Meeting. “Our CSULB Food Science Club participated in the Pacific South-west competition at the California State Poly-technic University in Pomona (May 7 - 8, 2017). They competed against schools such as Chapman University, California State Poly-technic University, Pomona, California State Polytechnic University in San Louis Obispo. Other universities attending the event and area meeting was California State University (Fresno, Northridge, and Los Angeles)

As described by the Institute of Food Technologists

(2017), “Since 1985, the IFTSA College Bowl Com-

petition has tested the knowledge of student

teams from across the United States in the areas of

food science and technology, history of foods and

food processing, food law, and general IFT/food-

related trivia.

exceptional leadership qualities and success in education and

employment. To pursue her dream of becoming a registered

dietitian, Stephanie has been accepted into the extremely

competitive combined dietetic

internship at the Los Angeles VA

and Master of Public

Health program at UCLA, where

Dr. Young Ha interview with Talking Points

In December 2016, Dr. Young Ha, Associate Professor in the

Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, was interviewed

by Beach TV Show, Talking Points, hosted by Dave Kelly, Director

of Beach TV. During this interview, titled “Fashion Design and

Consumer Response”, Dr. Ha explained how fashion designers,

retailers, and media affect fashion trends

and how consumers react with a

combination of conformity and

individuality in fashion adoption. The

symbolic meaning of clothes related to the

wearers’ personalities and characteristics

was also discussed.

This Talking Points interview is available on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpRZhBHWZRA

Green Mixer Nine groups from the FMD 458: Fash-

at the Green Generation Mixer event

on April 20th.The Seamless group,

which was one of the nine groups pre-

senting, received the best design con-

cept award at the event. The Green

Generation Mixer event, held at the

Japanese Garden, is considered the big-

gest sustainability event of the year at

CSULB, which brings together faculty,

staff and students into a discussion of

problems and possible solutions related

to sustainability. More than 50 student

group projects from all over campus

participated at the event, and only 6

received an award.

Consumer Affairs Symposium

The 2017 CSULB Consumer Affairs

Symposium was again a huge success.

The event was held during National

Consumer Protection Week and fea-

tured speakers from the Federal

Trade Commission (FTC), the Califor-

nia Department of Business Oversight,

and the LA County Sheriff's Depart-

ment. The theme of the symposium

was "Selected Federal, State, and Lo-

cal Government Agencies: What You

Need to Know," and was moderated

by Rigoberto Reyes, Chief Investigator

for the Los Angeles Department of

Consumer Affairs. Over 300 students

were in attendance. One of the high-

lights of the event was a large display

of counterfeit goods seized by the

Sheriff's Department at the Long

Beach and Los Angeles Ports, and

throughout the county. Information

about the problems and dangers of

counterfeiting was discussed. For ex-

ample, a counterfeit bicycle helmet

was displayed that did not meet head-

injury impact standards, and a coun-

terfeit hoverboard was displayed that

posed dangers from overheating and

fire. The Fall 2017 Symposium is

scheduled for Thursday, November 12

in the Beach Auditorium, and will like-

ly feature speakers from the LA Coun-

ty Assessor's Office, the California

State Controller's Office, and a munic-

ipal (city) government.

Speakers this year included:

A “Semester at Sea” Dr. Nilufer Medora, a faculty member in the Department

of Family and Consumer Sciences, in the area of Child De-

velopment and Family Studies and Family Life Education,

just returned from sailing around the world for 4 months

with the “Semester at Sea” program. This program is co-

sponsored by the Institute for Shipboard Education and

Colorado State University, Fort Collins. The program was

established in 1963 and has served thousands of students

from various national and international universities.

As part of this program, the M.V. World Odyssey, a cruise

ship was converted into a floating university to sail

around the world. The ship set sail from San Diego with

600 students, 200 crew members, 32 faculty and staff

members, and 18 life-long learners. As part of this voy-

age, the classes visited Mexico, Japan, China, Hong Kong,

Vietnam, Cambodia, Myanmar, India, Mauritius, South

Africa, Ghana, Morocco, and Germany. Students had to

be registered in 4 classes and one of these four classes

was the “Global Studies” class that was a requirement for

all students.

Fashion Design and Gerontology team up for Marketing to the “Experienced Consumer”

The Gerontology Program is partnering with Dr.

Jung Mee Mun from FMD to encourage fashion design

and marketing students to consider the “experienced

consumer,” which refers to consumers over the age of

65 years. Experienced consumers have higher spending

and more accumulated wealth than other age groups,

which is causing some (savvy) companies to rethink the

way they target this group in their design and marketing

efforts. Experienced consumers do not want to be treat-

ed like “old people.” They want appropriate, innovative

and well-designed products, including clothing.

The workshop started with a brief presentation

by Dr. Maria Claver, Director of the Gerontology Pro-

gram, about today’s older population. Students then ex-

perienced, with the use of aging simulation suits, the

physical changes that may accompany aging as described

in the lecture. They were asked to put on various cloth-

ing items (e.g., button up shirt, dress with a zipper in the

back, lace-up shoes) while wearing components of the

aging simulation suits.

Small groups of students then brainstormed about how

they might market to or design for older adult consum-

ers, taking into consideration both the physical chang-

es that might accompany aging as well as the needs

and desires of a growing experienced consumer popu-

lation. They presented their top three ideas to the

class, which ranged from creating an

“intergenerational” clothing line that would appropri-

ate for all ages, to the use of technology rather than

buttons and snaps, to featuring older adult style icons

such as Baddie Winkle in fashion marketing for any age

consumer.

Prior to the presentation, students admitted that they

gave little consideration to the experienced consumer

segment of the population when planning design and

marketing strategies. The workshop resulted in creative

and innovate design and marketing ideas for older

adults. The completion of this workshop also provided

students with a new perspective about the experienced

market and encouraged them to consider these consum-

ers in their future careers as fashion designers and busi-

ness people in the field of fashion.

Drs. Barrack and Alencar partner to supervise Nutrition and

Kinesiology Collaborations.

.

Nutrition and Kinesiology students in the FCS 490/590: Fieldwork Experiences in Sports Nutrition and FCS/KIN 468:

Nutrition for Exercise and Performance classes, supervised by Dr. Michelle Barrack and Dr. Michelle Alencar have

had a busy semester organizing a series of events for the classes.

Fuel Your Exercise Booth

Both Dr. Barrack and Dr. Alencar developed content and volunteered

for the “Fuel Your Exercise Booth” at the 2017 Wellness Week’s Well-

ness Fair. The booth highlighted a spinning wheel with sports nutri-

tion questions & prizes, “Fueling Foods”, and “Performance Plates”

for athletes training and fueling on easy, medium, and hard/intense

training days.

Cooking Demos to the CSULB NCAA Athletes

Nutrition and Kinesiology students in the FCS 490/590: Fieldwork Ex-

periences in Sports Nutrition class presented three cooking demos to

the CSULB NCAA athletes in March and April 2017. Topics presented

included “Healthy, Convenient Snacks”, “Fitting-In Your Veggies”, and

“Post-Workout Nutrition ‘On-The-Go’”. Recipes included Overnight

Oats, Granola Bites, Sweet Potato Toast, Spinach and Avocado

Smoothie, Egg and Cheese Muffins, and Pretzel Trail Mix. This work is

part of an ongoing research study, led by Dr. Michelle Barrack, and

funded by BUILD, which is evaluating the efficacy of cooking demon-

strations to optimize dietary behaviors among collegiate athletes.

Food Science Students Participate in the SCIFTS 2017 Competition

The Southern California Institute of Food Technologists (SCIFTS) Product Development Competition is an opportunity

for students to use all of the skills and knowledge learned in school and apply them to a real-world situation. Each

participating school's team develops a new food idea and carries the concept through marketing and production,

much like a commercial product development team. This annual competition, sponsored by CedarLane facilitates or-

ganizational, teamwork, creative, and scientific skills acquired from their training in food science courses. Here is the

competition rationale: The USDA and USDHHS jointly released the 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA)

at the beginning of 2016, the FDA issued a final rule in July 2016 for the iconic black and white Nutrition Facts label on

food and beverage packaging to have a new look, with which large companies must comply by July 2018. In response

to these changes initiated by USDA’s 2015-2020 DGA and FDA’s new Nutrition Facts labelling regulations, CedarLane

intended to explore “New Tools for a New World”, which was the theme of 2017 SCFIC conference. Under this joint

interest, the participating student teams were charged, under this call-for-competition, to design and develop a Ready

-To-Eat entree (prototype) by:

using whole grains from a variety of sources as the primary ingredients

using a reduced amount of “added sugars”

presenting the entrée as a vegetarian meal

incorporating natural ingredients rich in vitamins D and K

providing a Nutrition Facts label by following the new FDA’s rule

keeping in mind the developed prototype recipe needs to be feasibly scaled up through CedarLane’s high pressure

processing technology.

Our students Developed a prototype called "Ta-BOWL-eh" a vegan Middle Eastern meal that can be enjoyed by indi-

viduals ages 6 and older. The dish contains Shiitake mushrooms which serves as the vegetable bowls. They are then

stuffed with Tabbouleh which contains tomatoes, finely chopped parsley, mint leaves, onions, Bulgur, and olive oil

which satisfies the criteria mentioned above. The competition was held at the Disney Land Hotel in Anaheim, March 8,

2017

Nutrition Professor Dr. Blaine Featured in InsideCSULB

Dr. Rachel Blaine was featured in the campus bi-weekly magazine InsideCSULB. In the article titled “Blaine

Talk On Obesity”, Dr. Blaine addresses the topic of childhood obesity. Having extended practice with young

children from different backgrounds, Dr. Blaine has put her efforts on finding ways to lessen this public

health problem. As she explains, the fight against this problem begins at the individual level, having each

one of us adopting healthy lifestyles and pass them on to our loved ones. She

states, “If a daughter watches her mom eating out of a big bag or eating in the

car or eating in front of a TV, that is what she is going to do.” Similarly, she brings

out the fact that the childcare role in obesity will become significantly important

in the future. More women are entering the workforce, meaning their children

will spend significant amounts of time at childcare centers. The article concludes

with Dr. Blaine stating the need for switching the role of technology, in our lives,

from a leisure and entertainment source into a tool to take care of our health.

Reaching Our Leadership Potential: KON

Conference a Success!

The CSULB Kappa Omicron Nu

(KON) Honor Society co-sponsored

a leadership and research confer-

ence with the California Associa-

tion of Family & Consumer Scienc-

es (CA-AFCS) that was held on Sat-

urday April 29 at the University

Student Union (USU). “Leadership:

Reaching your potential through

ethics of care” was the conference

theme and was highlighted

throughout the conference pro-

gram. Faculty and students of the

FCS Department were huge con-

tributors to the conference’s suc-

cess.

The vast majority of conference

attendees were students from the

CSULB Family & Consumer Scienc-

es Department, but other schools

were represented including CSUN,

SFSU, Point Loma Nazarene Uni-

versity and Central Washington

University. The conference poster

session served as a culminating

showcase for the 2016-2017

CSULB KON Leadership Challenge

Scholarship. The recipient of the

scholarship, Carely Radov, who is

also the incoming CSULB KON

president, displayed her project

titled “MS week of awareness at

CSULB”. Additionally, members of

the 2016-2017 KON board present-

ed a poster about the Leadership

Challenge initiative; pictured are

Candice Cheung, Helena Lin, Catie

Harwood, Melissa Merlos and

Anne Esperanzate. Jared Gab-

aldon was not pictured because he

was serving as conference emcee

and led the tech crew. On behalf of

the CSULB FCS Department, KON

Advisor Dr. Richard Tuveson

brought greetings to conference

attendees. In the morning session,

Dr. Jody Roubanis provided discus-

sion about the relational ethics

that are inherent to the Family &

Consumer Sciences Body of

Knowledge and the profession’s

history. In even years, CA-AFCS

holds a professional conference

and in odd years it holds a student

conference. In 2015, the CA-AFCS

student conference was held at

CSUN and in 2019 it will be held at

SFSU. It might be another eight

years before CSULB again hosts

this conference but we know that

collaboration and creativity will

again be paramount to its success,

and along the way provide oppor-

tunities for students to test their

skills as they strive to reach their

leadership potential through ethics

of care.
